Since I’m urging you to get out and walk this week, I figured I’d give you a walking joke to make you smile a bit while you’re doing it.
A blonde goes out for a walk. She got down to the river and cannot see a bridge anywhere to get across. She sees another blonde on the other side of the river and yells over to her “How can I get to the other side?” The other blonde looks up and down the river then shouts back, “You’re already on the other side!”
TODAY: TAKE A WALK DOWN BY THE RIVER AND HELP THE FIRST BLONDE YOU SEE.
We’re through that “in like a lion” part of March. So, now we can make use of the improving weather and start doing some marching of our own. I know I nag about this. But hey… it’s my job.
The shocking truth is that less than half of us do enough exercise to get any health or fitness benefits from it. So walking is maybe the easiest and best place to start. I know, I know, you’ve heard this before. Well… you’ll hear it again. Each day in the coming week I’ll talk about our march to better health.
TODAY: CHECK YOUR CLOSET FOR WALKING SHOES. I’M SURE YOU HAVE A PAIR YOU CAN DUST OFF.
It’s Monday, weigh-in day. You need to do this every week. Chart your weight but don’t obsess about small daily changes. Look at the big picture. (no pun intended) Weighing yourself just once a week is sufficient. If you can lose just 1 – 2 pounds a week you’re on your way to a weight you can live with. You might not lose weight every week. That’s normal. Just stick with it and the scales will tip in your favor.
TODAY: TAKE A GOOD WALK (IT IS “MARCH” AFTER ALL) TO THE MARKET AND BUY VEGGIES TO CUT UP FOR SNACKS.
Do you really think that a pill can be the answer to getting fit and trim? I know, you want to, THEY want you to. But if it was possible to take it off and keep it off by simply swallowing a capsule don’t you think that there would be far fewer overweight people in the world. The fact is that the number is growing. Face it, the way to better health is actually NOT swallowing… at least not swallowing as much.
TODAY: EAT LESS, EXERCISE MORE.
Yesterday I told you to exercise in the morning. Now today I’m suggesting that you exercise at the end of the day. I know your thinking what the hell? Can’t you make up your mind? Well the truth is I’m trying to make up yours!
Just like the morning exercise gets you pumping, exercise late in your day will get rid of all the tension that has built up. A good brisk walk, or spinning on the exercise bike, or simply doing several reps of exercises will clear your head, warm your muscles and get you ready for a nice hot shower. It will curb your appetite some while relaxing you for when you go to bed for a good solid sleep. So you can get up early… and exercise!
TODAY: GET SOME EXERCISE BEFORE DINNER.
A little walk in the morning or even just a few stretching exercises will get you limbered up and your metabolism moving. It will also get your insides active to move some of yesterdays food through your system faster. So get up and get going. (In every way.)
TODAY: START THE DAY WITH SOME EXERCISE. ANY EXERCISE WILL DO!
Weekend, winter weather, weakness, whatever. Eat less, exercise more!
TOMORROW: GET SERIOUS AGAIN!
